HR software under R300 a month

3 products on the register meet this rule: BambooHR, PeopleHR and Sage HR. Products with a starting price above zero and under R300 in rand. A per user or per employee price is the price of one.

The products

Every price is the vendor's own, in rand, with the date it was read, the latest on this list being 11 October 2026. A product is here only where its own pages state it. A product that is not here may still do it: the pages the register read do not say, so ask the vendor and ask to see it work.

Questions to put to the vendor

  • Is the price per organisation, per user or per employee?
  • Is VAT in the price? Put it on the footing you pay.
  • What does the plan above the starting price cost?
  • Which limits apply on the entry plan?

Questions

Is the cheapest plan the right one?

Not always. A cheap plan that cannot read your bank or prepare your return costs hours every month. Price the whole sum, including the extras and your time.

Why does the basis matter?

A price per user multiplies by your team and a price excluding VAT needs 15 percent added. The register prints the basis next to every price.
